I Refuse to Enlist, So the Human Race Can Thrive for Eternity!

[High Martial] [Rebirth] [SSS-Rank Genius] [Misunderstood by the World] [Guardian in the Shadows] [Decisive and Ruthless]

Lin Zhao awakened an SSS-rank Burning Heaven Battle Will. His talent was unmatched among humanity, and he was hailed as the greatest prodigy in the three hundred years since Guixu was founded!

Everyone thought he would don his armor, enlist in the army, and march onto the battlefield of the myriad races to become humanity's brightest rising star.

But at the conscription ceremony, Lin Zhao publicly refused to enlist!

Overnight, the peerless prodigy became a disgrace to humanity.

His father disowned him. His old friend died in battle because of him. His younger sister was mocked, and all of Guixu cursed him as a coward afraid to die.

No one knew that Lin Zhao had already fought bloody battles on the front lines against the myriad races for three thousand years. He had witnessed humanity's extinction and the heavens stained with blood, and knew that the so-called "Heavenly Venerable's Blessing" was actually a shocking scheme targeting humanity's prodigies!

In this life, he refused to enlist, not because he feared death.

It was because at the end of the path to godhood that everyone could see, the demon race had already laid an ambush with slaughter in mind!

While the world cursed him as a coward, he repaired the great city-protecting formation beneath Guixu.

While the research institute accused him of desecrating the honored dead, he was reuniting the shattered souls of his fallen brothers.

When humanity lit ten thousand lanterns for the mysterious "Nameless Night Watcher," no one knew that the hidden prodigy they revered like a god was none other than Lin Zhao, the deserter reviled by the entire city!

The demon race was suspicious. Humanity misunderstood him. His old friends had all turned against him.

Yet Lin Zhao stood alone before the Dark River. Behind him was humanity, unaware of the truth. Before him stood the Demon Emperors of the myriad races, ready to devour the heavens.

"I refused to enlist because that wasn't humanity's battlefield. It was a grave the demon race had prepared for me."

"As for what the world thinks of me..."

"I, Lin, have always acted as I pleased. Why should I explain myself to anyone!"
